V10 Swap info please
I really want to swap a v10 into my 69 f350 dually project and my only hold up is the wiring. I have my eye on an 2000 f350 v10 5speed 2wd with 15xxxx miles.
What are my options?
I know can use the harnesses out of the donor truck and cut them down but this makes me a bit nervous and sounds like a pita. Not really sure how to figure out what I need and don't need.
What about a stand alone harness? Does anyone make it that will make this swap any easier?... I have heard of megasquirt but not sure if they could do what I'm looking for? What about a harness for an RV? How about stand alone harnesses for the 4.6 or 5.4 modulars can these work?
I have searched a lot but haven't seen many answer. Any help is appreciated.

People have done V10 swaps into a Mustang and a Crown Victoria - thing was, those platforms already had a modular engine in it from the factory - but - they still needed the V10 harness because of the extra injectors and COPs.
You'll need to use a V10 harness - there's no two ways about it.
If it's a 2000, that's probably THE best platform to use for this. The one problem you'll have is the speedo and feeding the PCM with the road speed - the F-series uses the rear ABS sensor for this. The E-series uses the output-shaft sensor from the transmission, but the E-series never came with a stick.
I THINK there might be an aftermarket controller to take care of the speed thing, but you'll have to look around for that.
